Swansea City Association Football Club (also known as TheSwans, or The Jacks: the reason behind the latter is unclear, but there are two possible origins: one is the reputation of local seamen "Jack Tars" in the early 19th Century, while the other is the black retriever dog called Swansea Jack who rescued no fewer than 27 people from drowning in the River Tawe and Swansea Docks during the 1930s) are a Welsh professional football club based in Swansea, Wales.

Swansea were founded in 1912 as Swansea Town - the area around Swansea traditionally had been a rugby area, and despite previous attempts by a football club named Swansea Villa, there were no notable football clubs until the establishment of Swansea Town AFC in the summer of 1912. Following the lead of many other South Wales sides, the club joined the second division of the Southern League for the following season. A site owned by Swansea Gaslight Co., called Vetch Field due to the vegetables that grew there, was rented to be the club's ground. The club's first professional match was a 1–1 draw at the Vetch Field against Cardiff City on 7 September 1912.

In 2011 Swansea City became the first Welsh football club to gain promotion to the Premier League, and have since built a firm reputation as one of the most attack minded clubs in the league professing an attractive brand of football, starting with former Everton manager and current Belgian national team head coach, Roberto Martínez in League One, and subsequently the likes of Brendan Rodgers and Brian Laudrup. Swansea City's main rivals are Cardiff City, with the rivalry described as among the most hostile in British football - with matches between the two clubs known as the South Wales derbies. Swansea play their home games at the Liberty Stadium.

Smalling and Valencia both deserve to be dropped because they are mostly at fault for all the sideways passing that Mourinho was talking about. The problem is we don't have a capable replacement for Valencia so he keeps his place but we have plenty of options at center back so Smalling comes out and if Rojo is fit then he starts. He can pass through the lines a lot better and he plays with intensity which is needed at home to break down small teams. I want to see the partnership with Bailly from last season again. ​
